Good lord-a-mighty, man! Were you reading my mind?? I was just thinking about the Dusy yesterday! I would love to do it this summer, but I just don't know if it's going to happen for me. My ankle is still healing from the metal removal, and the thought of bouncing through 32 miles of rocks makes my stomach hurt right about now. But, hey...we've got a few months so I'm not ruling it out completely. When were you planning on coming out this way? Late June is usually the earliest it can be accessed depending on what kind of snow year we have. WoodsChick

And you have MONTHS to heal. All you're doing is filling in the screw holes, right? Ought to be easy. But, hey...we've got a few months so I'm not ruling it out completely. When were you planning on coming out this way? Late June is usually the earliest it can be accessed depending on what kind of snow year we have. And I believe they're having a pretty good snowfall up there this winter. Theresa will be up that way in the next week or 2, I can have her check with the locals about the snowpack. I'll bet you'll still find plenty of snow patches the end of June this year. Scott wants to do a round trip of the Dusy, starting at the reservoir so we'd go UP Thompson Hill fresh and come back down when we, well, aren't. It'd be a long day (hey, it's ONLY 64 miles), but a cool ride. Only bad part is it would seriously limit time for stopping to gawk (or sun ourselves like lizards on the rocks). I'll have a pile of vacation time by then (4 weeks currently on the books), so we might be able to do something about this this summer. Tim H
